Our government wants all other countries to strive and be prosperious, but yet we are f'ing ourselves in the meantime. We can buy things cheaper because they are made overseas, but yet we have no jobs over here. I buy American every chance I get, even if it means paying a little more.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO SOUND LIKE I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS IN OTHER COUNTRIES. BUT I AM FED UP WITH THE GOVERMENT TAKING AND TAKING AND GIVING IT AWAY, SOMETIMES THROWING IT AWAY THEN CONSTANTLY ASKING US TO TURN AROUND AND DIG INTO OUR EMPTY POCKETS TO GIVE EVEN MORE AWAY. THE WHOLE TIME YOU MAY BE LOOKING AT THE FAMILY NEXT DOOR THAT HAVE NO HEAT OR LIGHTS OR FOOD. IT JUST MAKES ME SICK ! ALL I HAVE TO DO IF I WANT TO HELP SOMEONE IS LOOK AROUND ME. THERE IS SO MUCH NEED, IT IS HARD TO ACCEPT.

NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY TO BE A GOOD ,HELPFUL PERSON WHEN IT ENVOLVES GOVERMENT OR BUSSINESS YOUR THE ONE GOING TO GET RIPPED OFF. HOW ABOUT FAIR TRADE AT HOME . BUY YOUR FRUIT AND VEGGIES FROM YOUR LOCAL FARMERS THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO SELL TO YOU. YOU SEE PEOPLE ON STREETS WITH THEIR FRUIT AND VEGIE STANDS AND IT IS NORMALY FRESHER THAN WHAT YOU GET IN THE STORE.AND CHEAPER. ARE GOVERMENT TAKES CARE OF ALL THE OTHER COUNTRIES. WITH OUR MONEY. HOW ABOUT WE TRY TO HELP OUR OWN AND THEN YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BUYING FALSE PRODUCTS FROM SOME WHERE ELSE.

Fair trade is a different way of doing business, in which buyers and sellers work directly with farmers and crafts people in developing countries to make sure that they have a sustainable way of earning a living,"....there's that sustainable word again...UN Agenda 21 people Look it up
